How do I then offer repentence, as I know I am weak and will committ these sins again. Will I ever be forgiven by ALLAH? Do I have a right to turn to ALLAH and ask for forgiveness?

• I wanted to ask you about the teaching system of the ahle-sunnah within the uk. we have 2 main Madrassahs. One in coventry Hijaz college set up by the great pir Abdul Wahab Siddique(may allah be pleased with him) and also one in nottingham run by pirzada imdad sahib.

• Ibn Hanbal, Musnad, 5, 169. mentions that there were 124,000 prophets minimum, so how can there be around 313 prophets

• My question is regarding the slogan Haq Chaar Yaar which is in response to Naarae-Tehqeeq. As far as I know they are refering to the most afzal Sahaba by granting them such as slogan. Why are some, not all just a few minority of people refuting this Naara. After all we all say Naarae Haidri which meantions Hazrat Ali( radiallahu anhu). Why do they have a problem with us saying Haq Chaar Yaar which refers to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RadhiALLAHu Anhum) Hazrat Umar-e-Farooq (RadhiALLAHu Anhum) Hazrat Usman-e-Ghani AND (RadhiALLAHu Anhum) Hazrat Ali-ul-Murtaza (RadhiALLAHu Anhum). What is wrong with this. We are just expressing our love for the four most afzal Sahabas. It has created fitna amongst Sunnis. I think it is beacuse they only want to show respect to Hazrat Ali-ul-Murtaza (RadhiALLAHu Anhum) and the ahle bait which are the beliefs of shia's. There is nothing wrong with Haq Chaar Yaar as it was actually created by Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaat before some so called sunnis started negating it and saying we should say Haq Sab Yaar. Well if that is the case what if Maaz Allah people start negating Panj Tan Paak The Five Purified Ones of Allah The Holy Five include Prophet Muhammad (sas), Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Fatima, Hazrat Hassan and Hazrat Hussain (peace & blessings upon them all). What if people say does that mean the others are not paak. NO IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT. Please can you tell me your views on this as I believe there is nothing wrong with saying Haq Chaar Yaar after Naar-e tehqeeq and that is the only response to it.

Please can you provide more information on this as these are fundamental challenges to our beliefs.
